Hi, I am Yeo Shi Jie, 0330176.
Introduction:
A Green building focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use – energy, water, and materials – while reducing building impact on human health and the environment during the building’s lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal. Green Buildings should be designed and operated to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on its surroundings.
Objectives:
- To analyze theories and principles of passive green building design strategies.
- To integrate understanding of sustainable design strategies in the development of architectural design.
Task/ Methodology: (Individual)
Students are required to develop passive and active green building strategies simultaneously with their final architectural studio 5 project. Student are expected to:
a. Employ all passive green building strategies by their tropical building case study done in the Assignment 1 wherever possible, including but not limited to site planning, day lighting, façade design, natural ventilation, strategic landscaping and other renewable energies.
b. Attend online tutorial session with their assigned respective tutors in developing their passive and active green building strategies weekly.
c. Compile and documents their processes and final proposal in form of A3 report hardcopy and soft copy in pdf format.
Outcomes:
1. A3 Report:
2. Overall Report: ( Boards )
Learning Outcomes:
- Analyze passive sustainable design strategies in relation to climate and culture and compare their impact on space and user experience.
- Employ appropriate sustainable strategies in final architectural design.
